PTSD and Insomnia

PTSD

Two of the 20 symptoms of PTSD are related to sleep difficulties, including nightmares, dreading going to sleep or avoiding sleeping in designated sleeping areas.

The first step to finding a VA provider trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is to reach out to any health care provider and ask for a referral for insomnia treatment.
